Description

Three amazing musicians will be performing at the prestigious Holywell Music Room in aid of refugees stranded in awful conditions.

The French government have begun the process of removing people from the camp as they prepare for demolition.

But as Care 4 Calais' Clare Moseley says, this is not a solution:

"Demolitions have previously caused an increase in people living in smaller camps in the north of France, which have no running water, toilets or medical facilities. The demolition of Calais will likely see these smaller camps proliferate. Refugees routed elsewhere are likely to return to Calais determined to try to reach the UK. Dispersing refugees across France will make monitoring procedural inadequacies, and delivering aid, extremely difficult to impossible to achieve"

Campaigning has forced the UK government to ensure safe passage and support for over 200 unaccompanied refugee children - but hundreds more are at risk and the demolition makes them more vulnerable to abuse and trafficking.

Providing solidarity and aid to refugees is more crucial now - and getting your ticket for this concert is a great way to help.
